(VOVworld) – The National Traffic Safety Committee on Monday hosted a mourning ceremony in Hanoi for victims of traffic accidents. Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc, the committee’s chairman, underscored devastating consequences left by traffic accidents, thus called on all organizations and individuals to strive towards a safer Vietnam’s traffic system: Every single Vietnamese citizen has realized the serious effects brought by traffic accidents. It is such an uncompensated suffering when a person loses his loved one. So each Vietnamese should be more awared of how traffic accidents have damaged our national development and each life. We have to admit the truth that individuals, the community, and management agencies are all responsible for traffic accidents. Let’s act together to relieve the pain.
